New England Reclaimed Pine Shelving Unit

221cm tall, whitewashed reclaimed pine, an ornate cornice crown, six open shelves and four cabinet doors — the bookcase that fills a wall the way only bespoke fitted joinery used to.

At 221cm tall and 180cm wide, the New England Library Bookcase does something most furniture cannot — it transforms a room rather than simply furnishing it. Inspired by the great library bookcases of New England and French farmhouse interiors, the combination of six generous open shelves above four-door cabinet storage below creates the balance of display and concealment that makes a wall feel genuinely designed. The ornate cornice crown at the top gives the piece an architectural quality — the kind of detail that previously only bespoke fitted joinery could deliver. Crafted from reclaimed pine with a whitewashed limed finish, every plank carries the natural history of its timber.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The ornate cornice crown is the detail that elevates the New England from a large shelving unit into genuine architectural furniture. The classical cornice profile at the top of the piece creates the visual impression of built-in cabinetry — the kind of library bookcase that reads as part of the room rather than something placed in it. Combined with the whitewashed limed reclaimed pine finish — warm, bleached, with the grain and character of timber that has already lived — and the classical two-column upper shelving arrangement, the New England achieves the proportions and presence of a piece that belongs in a room rather than visiting it.
